Teclas

Mecanografiar siempre el mismo documento es aburrido y un poco absurdo, pero cuando te pagan por ello es mejor no hacer preguntas y solo pensar en el dinero. El problema empieza cuando tienes que compartir la máquina de escribir: el lado izquierdo o el derecho? Una comedia sobre recortes de personal y de personas, ya saben, la crisis.

Typing

Typing the same document over and over again can be boring and a little absurd, but once you are paid for it, it’s better not to ask questions and just think about the money. The problem begins when you have to share the typewriter: do you want the right side or the left? A comedy about personnel and personal cuts, you know, the recession.

Synopsis
One and one not always equals two. The couple and its complicated arithmetic through three stories where characters want to be happy but they don´t know how. When you get stood up, when you wake up beside a stranger, when after thirty years you don´t know what to speak about. The loneliness of sleeping alone and of sleeping with someone.

INSIDE is a performance intervention for international collaboration taking place in the private spaces of the iconic and storied Gara de Nord, Bucharest’s main train station. Last May PopUP Theatrics traveled to Madrid to launch INSIDE , our third concept, at the glamorous InterContinental.  From the posh full floor presidential suite to tiny maids closets to dark cellar corners, audience members were given the opportunity to enter into familiar territory while gaining unprecedented access to unseen spaces within the hotel.
